However briefly, grape is playing second fiddle to grain at Lakeland's Red Door Wine Market, where a single tap now pours Red Door Red Ale. The tawny brew is the first of several house beers that owner Richard DeAngelis plans to make and serve on a regular basis at his restaurant and wine bar near Lake Morton. For now, his red ale is brewed under contract with Shipyard Brewing Company in Maine, where brewmasters hammered out a recipe in consultation with Red Door's chef, Jason Boniface. Red Door Red Ale offers a jolt of dark fruit and caramel, balanced with toasted, nutty grains and a bracing, citrus finish of moderate bitterness. It's 5 percent alcohol by volume.
